…Says defection rumours handiwork of mischief makers

By Ochuko Akuopha

ASABA: Chief Press Secretary to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, Sir Festus Ahon, has said that the Governor had no reason to defect to any other party given his wide acceptance in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and followership by well-meaning Deltans and residents.

He said the Governor remained focused on delivering the MORE Agenda to all Deltans as promised during his electioneering campaigns.

Ahon in a statement, described rumours of defection plans of the Governor to other party as untrue and concocted by some elements in the opposition in the State.

He said some elements in the opposition party in the State were threatened by the rising acceptance and bridge-building efforts of the Governor across political divides.

He noted that Governor Oborevwori would continue to collaborate with the government at the centre for the overall benefit of Deltans and the country at large.

He urged Deltans to ignore the rumours making the rounds, saying it was the handiwork of mischief makers and fifth columnists.
